The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) issued ISO 30003:2009 - Ships and marine technology - Ship recycling management systems - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of ship recycling management.

The ISO standard aims to instill confidence that the certification process was carried out in a competent, consistent and reliable manner.

The standard has several components:

  • Provides guidance for the accreditation of certification bodies applying for ISO 30000 certification/registration.
  • Defines specifications for the audit and certification of a ship recycling management system complying with safety and environmental requirements.
  • Offers customers information about the way certification of their waste and other material handling or service companies was granted.

The document is targeted at third-party audit and certification bodies, but can be used by others involved in the assessment of management systems for the recycling of ships of all types and sizes, in both international and domestic trade.

ISO 30003:2009 will be useful for the shipping and ship recycling industries, shipyards, ship owners, maritime research institutes, universities for maritime technology and government ministries of shipping, navy, environment and labor, port authorities, classification societies and inspection agencies.

ISO 30003:2009 is part of a series of standards (ISO 30000) on ship recycling management, which promotes the safety of workers and preservation of the environment, as well as the recovery and reuse of steel and other materials and equipment.

ISO is working on the remaining standards of the series including:

  • Best practice for ship recycling facilities.
  • Guidelines for selection of ship recyclers.
  • Guidelines for implementing ISO 30000.
  • Information control for hazardous materials in shipbuilding and ship operations.
  • Guidelines on surveying ships for hazardous material and amount to be reported.
  • Methods to remove asbestos in ships.
  • Yachts recycling.
